Mixed Match Challenge
Date: April 3, 2018
Location: Bridgestone Arena, Nashville, Tennessee
Commentators: Michael Cole, Corey Graves, Beth Phoenix

It’s time for the final episode of the show, which isn’t exactly the biggest surprise in the world. You could probably guess the finalists when you saw the brackets and that’s not the worst thing in the world. We get a preview for Charlotte vs. Asuka, which should be a lot of fun, though also short. Let’s get to it.

Rusev, Lana, Big E. and Carmella are all chatting this week.

Mixed Match Challenge Finals: Charlotte/Bobby Roode vs. The Miz/Asuka

The guys start us off and Roode hits the quick pose. No contact in the first minute so Asuka starts screaming, which only allows Roode to get in a chop. The threat of the Glorious DDT is enough for Asuka to come in and it’s time for the Wrestlemania preview. They grab a lockup and both go to the mat with it, followed by a trip to the floor. That’s enough from them so it’s back to Miz vs. Roode with the latter getting two off a backslide.

Miz starts in on the knee but the Figure Four is broken up as Corey goes into the history of the Miz, the Flair Family, and the Figure Four. It’s more complicated than you might expect. Charlotte comes in and chops away, followed by the moonsault for two. Miz’s distraction lets Asuka grabs a rollup for two but it’s back to Roode. The Skull Crushing Finale is countered into another rollup for another two and it’s time for the YES Kicks. Oh man when Bryan comes out to stare Miz down for that, the roof is coming off the building.

Roode gets two off a swinging Rock Bottom and the Figure Four is countered into a small package for the same. Charlotte spears Miz down and puts on the Figure Four with Asuka making a save, despite a submission not counting anyway. Back up and Asuka sends Charlotte outside, setting up the Skull Crushing Finale for the pin on Roode at 12:56. Asuka is ELATED at the Streak being safe.

Result: The Miz/Asuka b. Charlotte/Bobby Roode – Skull Crushing Finale to Roode (12:56)

Post match Miz talks about this being the best week of his life. Miz lists off some of the charities being fought for in the tournament and talks about how awesome Rescue Dogs Rock is. They both promise wins on Sunday to end the show.

The winners celebrated.
